Hi,
i’ve created a similar Topic a few month ago which led to no satisfying end. So i’ve build up my openhab environment new from scratch unter Openhab 2.2- so i hope it is allowed to start this new topic.
First of all: the Philip Hue Bulbs (multi-color, controlled by a 1. Generation Hue Bridge) can turned on by my Dash Button via openhab - the problem ist to turn them off by a second “press”.
Here is my (not working) rule and the protocoll:
rule "Dash button pressed"
when
Channel "amazondashbutton:dashbutton:fc-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx:press" triggered
then
if (hue_0210_xxxxxxxxxxxx_4_color.getStateAs(OnOffType) == "ON") {
hue_0210_xxxxxxxxxxxx_4_color.sendCommand(OFF)
} else {
hue_xxxxxxxxxxxx_4_color.sendCommand(ON)
} end
what happens so far:
A. if Hue Bulb is OFF and the Dash Button is pressed:
–> Light turn on
–> Protocol:
2017-12-22 00:43:23.131 [vent.ChannelTriggeredEvent] - amazondashbutton:dashbuttonfc-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx:press triggered
2017-12-22 00:43:25.211 [ome.event.ItemCommandEvent] - Item 'hue_0210_xxxxxxxxxxxx_4_color' received command ON
2017-12-22 00:43:25.347 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - hue_0210_xxxxxxxxxxxx_4_color changed from 46,55,0 to 46,55,100
2017-12-22 00:43:32.595 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - hue_0210_xxxxxxxxxxxx_4_color changed from 46,55,100 to 46,55,18
B. if Hue Bulb is ON and the Dash Button is pressed:
–> Light unfortunately still is “ON”
–> Protocoll
2017-12-22 00:45:10.780 [vent.ChannelTriggeredEvent] - amazondashbutton:dashbutton:fc-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx:press triggered
2017-12-22 00:45:10.894 [ome.event.ItemCommandEvent] - Item 'hue_0210_xxxxxxxxxxxx_4_color' received command ON
2017-12-22 00:45:11.020 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - hue_0210_xxxxxxxxxxxx_4_color changed from 46,55,18 to 46,55,100
rule "Dash button pressed"
when
Channel "amazondashbutton:dashbutton:fc-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx:press" triggered
then
if (hue_0210_xxxxxxxxxxxx_4_color.state==ON) {
hue_0210_xxxxxxxxxxxx_4_color.sendCommand(OFF)
} else {
hue_0210_xxxxxxxxxxxx_4_color.sendCommand(ON)
}
end
Hi,
thanks for your effort. I’m afraid that there ist no .ITEMS, because i’ve the ITEM LINKING on “simple mode” (in PaperUI --> Configuaration --> System.
My current thought is, that the problem ist within the “OFF”-Command on the coloured hue-Bulbs. Maybe it is possible to set only the brightness on “zero”?
a query about to change the DEBUG level - where do i have to make this change? “log” ist sure no command; and i don’t think i can put in in the rule …?
Then please goto PaperUI --> Configuration --> Things --> Your Hue Color Bulb –> Configure --> goto the color channel --> then click on the link button (on the right side) Then you should see at least your linked items.
You need min. 3 linked items (Switch/Toggle, Dimmer, Color) !! (In my example above “Licht Esszimmer1 An/Aus (Innr_Light1_Toggle)” is configured as type: Switch
Pease identify your item which is configured as switch! If you do not have anyone, please ADD it there. Then you have to use this item in your rule.
For above shown example it looks like:
rule "Dash button pressed"
when
Channel "amazondashbutton:dashbutton:fc-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx:press" triggered
then
if (Innr_Light1_Toggle.state==ON) {
Innr_Light1_Toggle.sendCommand(OFF)
} else {
Innr_Light1_Toggle.sendCommand(ON)
}
end
